Typhoon Ampil is an active tropical cyclone that threatened the Kantō region of Japan.
Meteorological history[edit]
Typhoon Ampil emerged from an area of convection 976 km (606 mi) east of Kadena Air Base.[1] At 18:00 UTC the same day, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) designated the system as a low-pressure area.[2] However, just six hours later, they upgraded the system as a tropical depression.[3] The depression weakened and was last noted by the JMA on August 7.[4] The disturbance later meandered south of the Ryukyu Islands for a few days before it was re-designated by the JMA as a tropical depression on August 11.[5] Soon after, the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began to re-monitoring it, noting that it was in a marginal favorable environment for development.[6] At 07:00 UTC on August 12, the agency issued a tropical cyclone formation alert on the disturbance.[7] A few hours later, they recognized the system as a tropical depression, designating it as 08W.[8] Soon after, the JMA noted that it had intensified into a tropical storm, naming it Ampil.[9]
Effects in Japan[edit]
Typhoon Ampil arrived during Japan’s Obon holiday week—just days after 2024's Tropical Storm Maria caused record-breaking rainfall in parts of northern Japan.[10] As the strong storm brushed the coast of Japan, hundreds of thousands in Tokyo and surrounding areas were advised to evacuate. A total of around 178,000 households, over 404,000 people, were given an evacuation order. Similar notices were issued in Yokohama. Many modes of transportation like flights and trains were cancelled on August 16 as the typhoon approached.[11] Japan Airways and All Nippon Airways cancelled around 600 flights to Haneda Airport and Narita International Airport.[12][13] The Tropical Cyclone Condition of Readiness (TCCOR) level was raised to 3 to 2 for Yokosuka Naval Base—indicating winds of 92 km/h (57 mph) or higher were possible within 24 hours—on August 15.[14] All buslines in the city of Mobara were cancelled. Tokyo Disneyland closed around 6 hours before normal closing time, and it was closed all together on August 17. The cancellation of flights and railway transportation was expected to impact over 120,000 people.[15]
A Level 4 evacuation order was issued for Mobara and Asahi in Chiba Prefecture, along with Iwaki in Fukushima Prefecture.[16] East of Tokyo in the Chiba Prefecture, trees were downed and many road were flooded. In Tokyo and in multiple bordering regions, heavy rainfall effected areas, increasing the risk of flooding and landslides. High waves warnings were issued, mainly in the Izu Islands, as the typhoon passed.[15] Over 5,000 homes were left without power, though only 250 in both Ibaraki and Tochigi. Signboards were damaged, as well as bicyles and poles getting knocked over by strong winds. After the storm passed by, some flights were still delayed by Yamato Transport.[17] Energy company officials have announced that electricity has been restored to most areas.[18] The NHK reported that Tokyo suffered minimal damage, while several people were injured in Kanagawa Prefecture.[16]
